This is from Brandy, Tom’s wife. I’m here to give you my dead simple gift guide for men doing holiday shopping. I know I do all our holiday shopping but I am delighted when my husband picks out stuff himself. I want to give you thoughtful and easy ideas to get started. The beauty of my picks? You don’t actually have to pick anything out. Take a stand against gift cards and get something delightful and thoughtful. The best part is that every single item on this list is a serious savings on retail prices and isn’t another piece of electronics.
Women

Get a subscription to Citrus Lane for babies up to age 5 and their parents. They’ll get age-appropriate books, games, toys, and other fun items every month. Our kids love this monthly gift box. As a parent with two kids born in December, I prefer spreading out the love all year round! Kids
Gift a subscription to Kiwi Crate up until around age 7. This is a monthly craft and activity box and our daughter is simply wild over it.

For a slightly older girl (around 4 to 10 years old), try Crafter’s Crate. Teens
Loot Crate is perfect for any geeky/gamer kid! Want to make a teen girl super happy and feel super grown up? Gift her this great manicure set from Julep!

If you want something bigger or different, I suggest starting with my list of sites I shop, mostly curated collections of unique goods, but you’ll have to do more work!
